In the past year or so, the hardships and anxieties of work have made Duke concentrate on his career and never think about anything else, but as Mrs. Leah said, he had a lot of temporary girlfriends when he was in school, how could he not hear the meaning of Naomi Watts's words.

As the apartment door slammed shut, Duke and Naomi Watts' bodies were entangled.

"Aren't you going to drink water?"

In line with Duke's movements, Naomi shook the evening dress to the floor, and Duke cupped her face and looked down, "Honey, how can the water be delicious for you." ”

In the middle of speaking, Naomi had skillfully removed the belt from his waist, and Duke was not polite, directly picked up the petite girl horizontally, walked through the small living room, kicked open the bedroom door, and after breaking in, kicked the door to death.

"Oh......" Naomi exclaimed in the bedroom, followed by a dense gasp.

About an hour later, the flushed blonde came out of the bedroom wearing a men's dress shirt, walked to the TV cabinet, opened the drawer, found a new toothbrush, went to the bathroom, picked up a glass of water, put the toothbrush with the toothpaste on the cup, and went back to the bedroom.

"Duke, Duke......"

She picked up Dukla, who was drunk and dazed again, and pushed him into the bathroom, Duke pursed his lips, as if he was a little unhappy about disturbing him to sleep, "Honey, I think I should go to bed." ”

"Your mouth smells of wine." Naomi handed over the toothbrush, and Duke reluctantly took it, put it in his mouth, and said vaguely, "I never ...... Haven't drunk so much alcohol today. ”

"This shows that you are far from being as calm as you seem."

Picking up her toothbrush, Naomi Watts glanced at Duke obliquely, her blue-green eyes narrowed slightly, "You are very excited about the success of "Life and Death"! ”

"Perhaps."

Spit out the foam, walked to the nearby shower and rinsed briefly, Duke walked out of the bathroom with a large bath towel, dried himself, wrapped the towel around his waist, sat on a wooden chair, and looked at Naomi Watts' rented apartment.

It's a two-room apartment, not very large, at most 500 square feet, and the living room is only simply renovated, except for a few sofas, chairs and TV cabinets, there is no furniture, and it can be seen from this aspect that she is indeed very average in Hollywood.

After taking a shower, Duke sobered up a lot, picked up the clothes that were scattered on the floor, and separated his own.

There was a slight sound of footsteps in the bathroom, and Naomi, who was wrapped in a bath towel, saw Duke tidying up his clothes, frowned and asked, "You want to go?" ”

There seemed to be an uncontrollable disappointment in his tone.

She walked over to the couch and sat on it with her hands on her chest, staring straight at Duke, "Are you going to walk back?" ”

"I'm just tidying up."

There are no taxis running everywhere in Los Angeles, Duke walked over, bent down and pinched her face, and kissed her lightly on the smooth forehead, "Where is it more comfortable to sleep alone than to sleep with you in my arms?" ”

As he spoke, he plunged his right hand into Naomi's smooth leg, pinched the inner thigh twice, and hugged her sideways again in Naomi's coquettish call.

"It was just dessert." Turning into the next bedroom, Duke looked at her sweet and smiling face and said, "It's dinner." ”

Men and women are often the best way to relieve stress.

As soon as the light outside the building was reflected in the window, Duke opened his eyes on time and stretched out comfortably, he hadn't slept as deeply as he had slept last night in the past year or so, and a good night's sleep and the same quality bedtime exercise had almost completely dispelled the anxiety and insomnia of the past.

Turning his head to look, his side was already empty, and he casually took the clothes stacked next to him, put them on his body randomly, walked out of the bedroom, and followed the faint sound to the door of the kitchen.

"It smells so good." He leaned against the door frame and looked at the petite and graceful back, "What's for breakfast?" ”

"Hungry?" Naomi Watts turned her head, "Omelette toast, right away." ”

"I'll go wash up." Duke nodded, and turned to go into the bathroom on the other side.

After breakfast, Duke and Naomi Watts walked out of the apartment building together, and from the moment they left the apartment, the two automatically distanced themselves from each other, like ordinary friends, and came to Naomi's red Ford.

"Where do you want to go? I'll send you. She opened the car door, "Santa Monica?" ”

Public transportation in Los Angeles wasn't well developed, and Duke thought for a few seconds before saying, "Go back to Century City, my car is still there." ”

The red Ford drove in the direction it had come from last night, and returned to the www.biquge.info Biqu Pavilion.

"You don't have a boyfriend, do you?"

On the way, Duke took the initiative to break the silence in the car, and Naomi Watts shrugged, "Do you want to be my boyfriend?" ”

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

Hearing Duke's words, Naomi smiled, "Last night was a wonderful night, and I admit to having a crush on you. ”

Duke just asked, this is Hollywood, one of the most chaotic places in the world where the relationship between men and women is confused, everyone is an adult, and they don't see each other as a night when they have needs for each other's bodies. It's too serious.

"There's a stipulation in my contract with Nancy." Naomi Watts added, "During the contract, I had to get her permission to get a boyfriend, get engaged, get married, and have children. ”

"It's the price you have to pay for fame." Duke replied casually.

This kind of contract is common in Hollywood, and even many big-name celebrities have it in their brokerage contracts.

"yes, but I always have a physiological need." She turned to look at Duke, "What about you?" You don't have any of these in your contract? If Nancy knew that the two of us were together, she would be. ”

"No," Duke shook his head, "I don't have the time and energy to have a girlfriend." ”

"Are you supposed to ......" Naomi first showed a win-winning expression, and then shook her head, "Your skills are very good, not a novice, you shouldn't maintain several open relationships at the same time, right?" ”

"Actually, you're the first woman I've ever touched in over a year."

As if to distinguish between the truth and falsehood of Duke's words, Naomi Watts was silent for a while, and then said seriously, "Last night was my first and most wonderful time since I came to the United States. ”

"Thank you!" Duke said politely.

The car slowly drove into the parking lot last night, Duke opened the door, just got out of the car, turned back to the side and said to the driver's seat, "Don't worry, I won't talk to Nancy about this." ”

"If ......," Naomi Watts hesitated slightly, but looked up at Duke and said, "You have a need, and I happen to have a need......"

With a shrug, Duke made a phone call gesture and turned to his Chevrolet.

Now is just the beginning of the road to dreams, Duke will not be a big hit because of "Life and Death", he takes it for granted that he will succeed in the future, and he will never stagnate, he knows very well that he is just a rookie in the directing industry, whether it is shooting techniques or lens language, it is far from mature, there are still many things to learn and practice, and maintaining a relationship will take a lot of time and energy, which is not suitable for him now.

But this is a high-pressure industry, he does not smoke or drink alcohol, and he is against drugs. Addictive drugs are even more hated, so there must always be a channel to pour out pressure, otherwise insomnia and anxiety caused by stress are likely to reappear, and a relationship between men and women who take what they need and do not need to be responsible may be a good choice.

In fact, this is like most couples in Hollywood, if you need to come together, if you don't need it, then wave goodbye.

Driving his Chevrolet, Duke heads straight back to Santa Monica and calls Nancy, who asks Vito to help find a suitable rental apartment in Hollywood or near Burbank, where he must be independent, according to the country's dominant tradition.

After the partial share of the money arrives, Duke will not only be able to completely pay off the debts owed during his college years due to the filming of the real film, but also have the money to find a suitable house, although the purchase is a bit difficult, but the lease is certainly no problem.

Duke then went for a run on the promenade and returned to his studio on the second floor to begin the necessary pre-work for the next plan.

Scenes, colors, props, cameras, sets, lenses, actors, etc., he has to think about it in advance, the time has entered July, if you want to catch up with next year's summer file, he, the director, must walk in front of the project.

In addition, Duke has planned the first phase of the road during this time, which consists of four films with a distinct explosive style, as the first "Life and Death" only destroyed half of Santa Monica, the second he wants to destroy San Francisco and Alcatraz, the third part directly turns New York, Washington and Los Angeles and other North American cities into flames, and the fourth part rushes out of North America and kills Europe, targeting France.

Then, it's time to transform, after all, explosions can easily lead to aesthetic fatigue.

There is no news from the film company for the second part, and he is sorting out the outline and template for the third and fourth parts, and after all the parts are in place, he can recruit several screenwriters to assist him in completing it together, which is also a typical Hollywood assembly line screenwriting homework.

"Duke ......"

The maid's voice came from downstairs, "There's your phone." ”

"Here ......

He answered, hurried out of the studio, ran down the stairs, and took the microphone.

"Hello, this is Duke Rosenberg......"

Before he could finish speaking, Duke was interrupted by a voice on the phone, and then said in surprise, "You're back in Los Angeles?" Want to be my assistant? What about your internship position at Chanel? Quit? ”
